What I've been doing is telling stories of my life from the beginning and
in the past (blog # 1) and just doing that ain't going to work because I believe
you would like to hear about the present, too.
You see, I've completed over 198 stories (blogs), and do two blogs a day.
You can get to the remainder of my stories thru Weebly.com, Facebook
and Twitter.
Thanks.

"Railroad systems...
Telephone service for dispatchers and service personnel between way
stations along railways used a form of party line service for many decades
starting in the early 1900s. Railroad telephone systems often consisted of
several dozen way stations interconnected with a shared line that used DC
voltages as high as 400 V for selective signaling to alert called stations.
Carrier systems....
With the advent of sophisticated electronics in the early part of the 1900s,
telephone service providers developed methods to share a single copper
line to transmit multiple telephone calls simultaneously. Various pair gain
methods using time-division multiplexing and frequency-division
multiplexing prevented interference between simultaneous calls. A distant
suburb may have a subscriber loop carrier or digital loop carrier system
in which a remote concentrator is located near the subscribers to connect
multiple local subscriber loops to one common line to a central office
exchange. A single optical fibre can also be shared between multiple
subscribers in fibre to the cabinet systems.
CATV cable modems are connected to an inherently shared medium.
The signal from the shared line is split to multiple subscribers. Signals
for television, and data operate at various different carrier frequencies.
Digital wireless connections, such as mobile phones or voice over IP
running over rural wireless Internet infrastructure are also inherently a
shared medium. Sufficiently high levels of usage of simultaneous active
connections cause congestion on a mobile telephone network or impair
transmission quality."
Mother Teresa
"VATICAN CITY — Mother Teresa has long been considered a saint by many
people around the world. On Sunday morning," ( Note: the ceremony has
been completed, but let us continue with this story of this amazing
Saint who ministered to the world’s least privileged, those she called
“the poorest of the poor)"....”
"The canonization marks a highlight of the Jubilee year that Francis had
proclaimed to celebrate the theme of mercy. On Saturday, he told thousands
of cheering volunteers gathered in St. Peter’s Square that Mother Teresa
was a “witness to mercy in our time.”
Of her canonization, he said, “She deserves it.”
A portrait of Mother Teresa, the Roman Catholic nun described by Pope John
Paul II as an “icon of the good Samaritan,” is displayed on the facade of
St. Peter’s Basilica and shows the saint-to-be in her distinctive blue-trimmed
white sari. The portrait was commissioned by the Knights of Columbus and
painted by Chas Fagan, an American artist.
Mother Teresa earned fame and accolades over a lifetime spent working with
the poor and the sick, and with orphans, lepers and AIDS patients, first in the
slums of Kolkata, India, and then in many other countries.
She made the cover of Time magazine in December 1975 for an article that
acknowledged her as one of the world’s “living saints.” When told that she
had won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, she said, “I am unworthy.”
Mother Teresa’s supporters praise her selflessness and humility, noting that
though she associated with royalty, government leaders and popes, she
continued to live simply until her death in 1997...."

"Hermine easing away from Mid-Atlantic coast, but high seas and rough surf
to linger."
By Brian McNoldy September 4 at 5:30 PM
"At 5 p.m., Hermine was positioned about 335 miles east of Ocean City and
contained maximum sustained winds of 70 mph. It was drifting east-northeast
at 5 mph, farther away from land.
Given its distance away from the coast and current movement, tropical
storm warnings have been dropped south of Fenwick Island, Del. They
remain in effect from Bethany Beach, Del. to Nantucket, Block Island, and
Martha’s Vineyard in southern New England, where they were recently
extended.
(National Hurricane Center)
The storm surge warning has been dropped for much of the Mid-Atlantic
coast and is now only in effect around Long Island.
Still, the National Hurricane Center said seas may rise one to three feet
above ground level at high tide for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast beaches
from Rehoboth Beach, Del to Montauk Point, NY during the next 48 hours.
While the threat of severe coastal flooding, strong winds and rain have
diminished in many parts of the Mid-Atlantic coast, dangerous rip
currents and beach erosion are likely for the next couple of days.
Hermine may not be a hurricane anymore, or even a tropical cyclone,
ut it remains an imposing feature packing 65 mph winds and sending
big waves to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. coastline.
Over the next few days, the bulk of the destructive winds, rainfall, and
even the cloud cover will remain offshore, which is good news for
everyone but beach-goers. Hermine will linger just offshore,
generating a lot of angry waves and elevated water levels from Virginia
up to Massachusetts. Fortunately, the storm has drifted farther east than
forecasts had predicted, which reduces its impact somewhat, but not
completely. As of Sunday morning, storm surge warnings extend from
Cape Charles up to Sandy Hook Bay, while storm surge watches are in
effect for the Delaware Bay and the Long Island region. Not all of the
locations will experience their highest water levels at the same time,
of course, but over the coming four to five days and especially during
high tide....
(NOAA) The worst is still ahead for Ocean City, which should see its
peak water level on Monday morning at nearly four feet above the
average high tide level. Lewes, Rehoboth and Atlantic City can expect
about the same. Areas farther north along the New Jersey and New York
coast are less certain at this point, but should be on high alert for the
potential for major beach erosion and coastal flooding....
For Ocean City and other coastal locations nearby, the National Weather
Service states: “Winds remaining gusty today but will average 15-25 mph
with gusts to 40 mph along the ocean. Only Minor rainfall amounts today
and tonight. Coastal flood threat greatest ocean side, with minor to low
end moderate flooding today and tonight, increasing to moderate to
locally severe possible on Monday when the highest storm surge of the
event is likely to occur. Minor flooding possible Chesapeake Bay side.”
On Saturday morning, Hermine lost its tropical characteristics and
transitioned to a more typical type of storm for being this far north. It is
now officially classified as “post-tropical,” as opposed to purely tropical
or a hybrid type called subtropical. These designations classify a storm
by the distribution of its winds and its primary fuel source. They do not
make a storm any less dangerous! A post-tropical cyclone with
hurricane-force winds is definitely capable of causing damage — just think
back four years ago to Sandy and its New Jersey landfall.
Unlike Sandy, Hermine is not forecast to actually make landfall. Landfall
would bring the strongest winds immediately to the coastline (as well as
higher storm surges), but a large, intense storm stalling offshore still
creates trouble for beaches and coastal residents.
The National Hurricane Center has continued to issue its suite of
advisories and products on Hermine for continuity. Normally, that
agency is responsible only for tropical and subtropical systems, but
since Sandy in 2012, it was decided that storms that transition to
extratropical status near the coastline still require a high level of
public awareness and guidance. As such, tropical storm warnings
and watches are still being issued — not because it’s a tropical storm
but because it’s an extratropical cyclone with tropical-storm-force winds."
Brian McNoldy works in cyclone research at the University of Miami’s
world-renowned Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science
(RSMAS). His website hosted at RSMAS is also quite popular during
hurricane season.

"No results found for "Saints are criticized for the little things they do not do.""
I knew a man once who said he was Mother Theresa's brother, had won the
the Nobel Prize, was a Saint and said that he was a legend in his own time.
The arrogant, lying, @%*&$#@!!
A song by Mac Davis apply describes the lying #$@&%!! If you all ain't heard
you need to Googled it.
CONTINUED FROM THIS MORNING....
I just about got that 3 foot diameter flower bed replanted. I needed about 2 more
hours of sunlight. Sometimes the daylight ain't just long enough. I dug up the
remaining flowers, put them in the lawn tractor cart, drove to the corner bed
and wetted them down with the hose. I'm sure the flowers will still be fresh and
ready for planting in the morning....
